BFL hits Lake Norman Saturday, Feb. 13
TERRELL, N.C. --
The FLW Bass Fishing League is headed to Lake Norman Saturday, Feb. 13, for the first of five stops in the North Carolina Division series. As many as 400 pro and co-anglers will be competing for top awards of up to $8,000 and $3,000, respectively.
“There has been a lot of rain in the area which has really muddied the water,” said FLW Tour pro Chris Baumgardner of Gastonia, who has two top-10 finishes including a win at Lake Norman. “Anglers will want to look for the ‘hot holes’ and fish slow and shallow. Ramsey Creek and near the 150 Bridge should be full of fish as the water tends to be a little warmer in those areas. Crankbaits around rocks should work well.”
Anglers will take off at 7 a.m. from Midway Marina located at 8693 Hwy. 150 E. in Terrell. Weigh-in will be held beginning at 3 p.m. at the marina. The public is welcome.
The N.C. Division will return to Lake Wylie Sept. 18-19 for the 2010 BFL Super Tournament at Blythe Landing, Highway 73, Huntersville.
The South Carolina Division will stop at Lake Wylie Sept. 11-12 for its 2010 BFL Super Tournament at Buster Boyd Access Area.
